Setup is straightforward, requiring you to enter your Amazon credentials and pick a drive letter for your Amazon Cloud Drive. Once you do that, you’ll be connected and ready to manage your files from within Windows Explorer just like an external hard drive. This will let you add and remove files as well as rename and organize files quickly. Your changes will be synced to the cloud so that you can access them from Cloud Drive and the Amazon Cloud Player.
